I was wondering if someone that weighs 260lb can ride a sports bike like the r6?

Question

is there something that has to be done on the bike to support the load

Answer 1

Sure, if you dont mind looking like a monkey having ammorous relations with a football.

You can do it, but Im telling you, its not going to be comfortable, and you are gonna bottom out the forks and shocks if you dont add some serious amounts of preload...

Answer 2

taught my buddy how to ride on a R6 and now he rides a CBR6F4 and a CBR900RR, he preferres the 6 saying its more comfortable for him. He stands 5'10" 255 or so..

Answer 3

I weigh 260 and ride one.

Answer 4

yea my bro does it CBR600RR

Answer 5

Not an issue, bump up the preload on the forks and shock. Youre not that big dude.

Answer 6

I rode my friends yamaha r1 and i was fine 200... he's weighs about 230 with no problems...

Answer 7

No, you're perfectly fine.
